A few years ago I built myself a lawnmower blade sharpener. The design is my own and building it was kind of fun. I like to invent stuff and I have designed and built all sorts of stuff over the years.
Anyway, I sharpen mower blades for people. When I built the machine I didn't intend on sharpening blades for other people, I built it just to sharpen my own blades. But the next door neighbor saw me working in my garage and saw I was sharpening my lawnmower blades and asked me if I would sharpen his. I said OK and took his blade off and brought it over. I sharpened it an he liked the job I did so much that he told his buddies about it. His buddies brought their blades over, and they liked the job I did and the crowd of people wanting their blades sharpened has continued to grow. I am retired now and I would like to put an end to this, but I have doing it for so long that I am not sure how to tell people I don't want to sharpen their blades anymore.
I took some pictures of the sharpener so I could show it to you, but it won't let me attach them. It says I am not allowed to post attachments.
